# Rootsy

> Rootsy gives people and organizations persistent Linux computers with a coding agent inside, for building and running small software: apps served at the computer's address, and jobs that run once, for hours, or on a schedule.

## Instructions for agents

- Every page below is Markdown. Read the page for your task before guessing.
- Use only documented Rootsy features. Undocumented local endpoints on a computer are internal and change without notice.
- If you're running inside a Rootsy computer, start with https://rootsy.io/docs/reference/computer.md and https://rootsy.io/docs/reference/sleep.md.
- Everything in one file: https://rootsy.io/llms-full.txt

## Your computer

- [Your computer](https://rootsy.io/docs/reference/computer.md): Reference for a Rootsy computer: the OS and user, preinstalled software, the directory layout, what persists, and the ports and paths that belong to the platform. (~1700 tokens, updated 2026-10-21)
- [Sleep and wake](https://rootsy.io/docs/reference/sleep.md): When a Rootsy computer sleeps, what wakes it, what survives, how to keep it awake for a long job, and when the workspace pauses. (~1800 tokens, updated 2026-10-21)
- [Preview and testing](https://rootsy.io/docs/reference/preview-and-testing.md): Show your work in the workspace's Preview window with rootsy preview, open apps that need a real browser window, and check that a page works. (~1300 tokens, updated 2026-10-21)
- [The rootsy command](https://rootsy.io/docs/reference/cli.md): Reference for rootsy, the helper command on every Rootsy computer: each subcommand with its flags, output and exit codes. (~2400 tokens, updated 2026-10-21)
- [Backups and Reset](https://rootsy.io/docs/reference/backups-and-reset.md): Automatic and manual backups of a Rootsy computer, pinning and retention limits per plan, what a restore replaces, and what Reset keeps and wipes. (~1600 tokens, updated 2026-10-21)
- [Troubleshooting](https://rootsy.io/docs/reference/troubleshooting.md): The error pages, banners and command messages you can see on Rootsy, each with its cause and what to do. (~3300 tokens, updated 2026-10-21)

## Run jobs

- [Jobs](https://rootsy.io/docs/reference/jobs.md): Run one-off and long-running jobs on a Rootsy computer, from its terminal or over MCP, and keep them alive through sleep. (~1600 tokens, updated 2026-10-21)
- [Scheduled tasks](https://rootsy.io/docs/reference/scheduled-tasks.md): Run a job on a timetable: a schedule sends a signed request to an endpoint on your Rootsy computer, which verifies it and does the work. Manage schedules from the workspace, the rootsy command or MCP. (~4200 tokens, updated 2026-10-21)

## Serve apps

- [Serve an app](https://rootsy.io/docs/reference/serving.md): Serve a static site or a running app from a Rootsy computer through nginx on port 8090, deploy new versions safely, and the request limits that apply. (~2400 tokens, updated 2026-10-21)
- [Addresses and custom domains](https://rootsy.io/docs/reference/domains.md): Your Rootsy computer's address at <name>.rtsy.dev, connecting a domain you own with CNAME records from the workspace or over MCP, root domains and www, and what each status means. (~2100 tokens, updated 2026-10-21)
- [Protect an app](https://rootsy.io/docs/reference/protect-an-app.md): Add a password with nginx basic auth, or sign-in inside the app, since Rootsy doesn't put a login in front of what a computer serves. (~1100 tokens, updated 2026-10-21)

## From outside

- [Connect an AI tool with MCP](https://rootsy.io/docs/reference/mcp.md): Connect Claude, ChatGPT or another MCP client to Rootsy, then create and manage computers, run commands, read files back, and manage schedules and domains through its 29 tools. (~5300 tokens, updated 2026-10-21)

## Account
